Abstract
An adsorption heat pump may include a high temperature circuit for a high temperature heat transfer medium, a medium temperature circuit for a medium temperature heat transfer medium, and at least one sorption module in operative communication with the high temperature circuit and the medium temperature circuit. The at least one sorption module may include a sorption zone, a phase change zone, a working medium, a sorbent which may absorb and desorb the working medium, a first flow channel thermally contacting the sorbent, and a second flow channel thermally contacting the phase change zone. A first valve and a second valve may be in operative communication with the sorption module, the high temperature circuit, and the medium temperature circuit. The first valve and second valve may be configured to move between a closed position, a first open position, a second open position, and at least one intermediate position.
